Andersonville Galleria: First Fridays

First Fridays at Andersonville Galleria offer an opportunity to sip and shop while meeting several of the artists who rent space in this absolutely fantastic store.

First Friday of each month, April through December from 5PM to 8PM shop at Andersonville Galleria and enjoy complimentary wine, occasional tastings from many of our specialty food vendors, and often even LIVE music.

One of a Kind Spring

The holiday show has run for 15 years each December and this year will be the first Spring One of a Kind Show right here in Chicago — and the glass station will be there. It will be the ideal place to find truly unique items for yourself, your home and everyone on your gift list. At half the size of the holiday show, the Spring show will gather a still incredibly impressive 300+ talented artists.

Speak with artists one-on-one, attend artist demonstrations, and create something yourself at a crafting workshop. Indulge in gourmet cafes and enjoy fashion shows and live music.

Stay tuned for the glass station’s booth location. It will be posted here just as soon as we know it.

Contact me if you’d like a pair of free passes.

Why buy handmade?

Artist, Artisan, Maker – whatever the title one chooses to use – we are people who create with passion.

Here at the glass station, into each item goes great thought about every single detail, things we all care about – but often don’t think about with each and every purchase. From the materials used and the sourcing of them, to meticulous attention to the very last detail on the finished piece - you can feel comfortable knowing that whatever you purchase has been made with quality materials; your dollars will not support untenable working conditions in a sweatshop overseas and each and every item has been created by someone who wants her products to be cherished for years.

“When you buy from an independent artist, you are buying more than just a painting, a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures. You are buying days, weeks, months and years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to eat, enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dog. You aren't just buying a thing, you are buying a piece of the heart, a part of the soul, a private moment in someone's life. Most importantly, you are buying that artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about; something that makes all of the above worth the fear and the doubt; something that puts the life into the being.”
-Rebekah Joy Pelt

When buying from the glass station you are not only getting something unique and of excellent quality, you’re purchasing something you can feel good about. A product I will stand behind. Always.
